Portsmouth is one of the most densely populated cities on the south coast, which makes parking and access genuinely tricky for anyone moving house or running a trade job. We know the city — from the narrow Victorian terraces of Southsea and Eastney to the modern flats around Gunwharf Quays and the larger family homes in Cosham, Drayton and Farlington — and we match vans to the streets they need to get down.
Students at the University of Portsmouth and Highbury College are some of our most frequent customers. Whether you're moving between halls in the city centre, picking up a sofa from IKEA Southampton or shifting an entire flat-share at the end of term, a transit van usually handles it in a single load. We keep weekend availability open through August and September for this reason.
For trade customers — builders, decorators, electricians and landscapers working across PO1 to PO6 — we offer flexible weekly and rolling hire on transits and Luton tippers. Vans are kept clean, serviced and ready to drive away the moment you arrive.

Van hire in Portsmouth — FAQs
How much does van hire in Portsmouth cost?
Van hire in Portsmouth starts from a competitive daily rate, with discounts on weekend and weekly bookings. Pricing depends on the size of van — small van, transit or Luton box van — and the length of your hire. Call 07771 876319 for a no-obligation quote.
Do you deliver vans in Portsmouth?
Yes — we cover the whole of Portsmouth and the surrounding PO1–PO6 area. We'll arrange collection at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends where possible.
What size van should I hire for a house move in Portsmouth?
For a one-bedroom flat move in Portsmouth, a long-wheelbase transit is usually plenty. For 2–3 bedroom houses, a Luton box van with tail lift is the safer choice. We're happy to advise based on your inventory when you call.
Do I need my own insurance to hire a van?
No — fully comprehensive insurance is included with every hire. You'll need to be over 23 with a clean UK driving licence held for at least 2 years. Bring your licence and a recent utility bill on collection.
Can I hire a van in Portsmouth at short notice?
Yes — same-day and next-day van hire is often available in Portsmouth, subject to fleet availability. The fastest way to check is to call 07771 876319 directly.
